INNOVATIVE MARINE FUEL SOLUTIONS TO RAPIDLY TRANSITION TO NET ZERO
THE RACE TO
NET-ZERO
Options today? there are many! Is the rate of change fast enough?
What can be done today to
help transition quickly,
without incurring significant
costs or fleet changes?
We are focusing today on:
1. Improving energy efficiency
2. Lowering emissions
Using disruptive technology…

IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
▪ Conventional emulsion systems add water to marine fuels to produce Water-in-Oil emulsions
▪ This reduces NOx (each % of water added reduces NOx by a % typically)
▪ Also improves combustion and reduces Black Carbon due to secondary fuel atomisation
▪ Potential for higher engine efficiency in some cases
▪ Implemented by installing an emulsion system on the vessel

IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
▪ Uses lowest value fuel components at the refinery or fuel terminal for blending
▪ Improves blending stability, and water lowers viscosity and NOx by 20-30% typically
▪ Complete combustion from micron-sized fuel droplets, reducing Black Carbon substantially
▪ Improves engine efficiency, lowering energy consumption to achieve CO2 savings of up to 6-9%
▪ New fuel flexibility is provided by installing a separate emulsion fuel booster unit on the vessel

Diesel & Marine Experience
Niels H BruusMaersk Line A/S:
“…during the MSAR® trial programme Maersk has enjoyed a close and professional collaboration with our technology partner QFI … resulting in a smooth operation during which the MSAR® fuel has performed well.”
▪ Quadrise have >60 million tons of emulsion experience
▪ 150,000 reliable running hours on 4-stroke Wartsila
engines for base-load power generation
▪ Comprehensive 2-stroke marine MSAR® programme with
Maersk, on MAN and Wärtsilä engines, resulting in:
▪ Trials on MAN D&T, Mitsui & Wärtsilä test engines
▪ Proof of concept tests at sea on Maersk Bogor and
Seago Istanbul vessels
▪ Operational trial on Seago Istanbul (~1500 hours)
▪ Interim LONO obtained on Wärtsilä Flex 96
▪ Further operational experience and full LONO in
planning phase under JDA with MSC ShipmanagementSeago Istanbul 54,000 DWT (Wärtsilä 12 RT-Flex 96 C-B)
Maersk Bogor 43,000 DWT (MAN B&W 7K80ME-C9)

Commercialising a new biofuel for marine users
x10>4m tpa of glycerine today, mostly
as a by-product of biofuel & fatty
acid & alcohol production
x1e.g. 1 barrel of crude Glycerine is produced
for every 10 barrels of biodiesel…
This can be refined for fuel applications!10

Renewable Glycerine
Launched at the end of last year, bioMSAR™ combines the benefits of MSAR® fuel &
technology to blend renewable fuels (both oil and water based).

▪ Glycerine has already been utilised in diesel generators
to power Formula-E race cars and VW’s record-breaking
Pike’s Peak ID R.
▪ Good potential as a marine transition fuel as not an
obvious option for aviation or road transportation:
▪ Based on 40% glycerine, CO2 emission reductions are 25%
well-to-wake or tank-to-wake.
▪ Glycerine content can be tailored to user requirements.
▪ In bioMSAR™ it can be used in existing marine diesel
engines, with only minor modifications to the fuel
handling system (same tanks, but separate fuel booster).11
Glycerine experience in diesel engines
Glycerine benefits:
✓ Non-toxic
✓ Non-flammable
✓ Good lubricity
✓ Bio-degradable
✓ Low g/MJ CO2
✓ No methane slip

SUMMARY & NEXT STEPS

TO RAPIDLY
TRANSITION
TO NET ZERO
▪ bioMSAR™ successfully tested on 4S Wärtsilä & high-speed diesels
▪ Recent bioMSAR™ testing confirmed;
✓ Engine performance was very similar to MSAR® & other fuels
✓ High engine efficiency of up to 7%, as seen with MSAR®
✓ Lower CO2 emissions per kWh calculated (WTW or TTW)
✓ Overall NOx emissions were similar to MSAR®
✓ Low smoke, THC and CO with bioMSAR™
▪ As with MSAR®, which was successfully tested on ME and Flex
engines, bioMSAR™ also needs to be tested on a 2S engine
▪ Further options to expand global supply of glycerine being studied
▪ New opportunities to incorporate other renewable fuels into the
oil or water phases of the fuel using MSAR® blending technology
to enhance the stability of marine transition fuels
